Clear Warning

Stan was one of those insensitive blokes, 
who gorged on Jerusalem artichokes,
when gas formed in his gut,
he thanked God for a butt...
now the entire USA gags and chokes.

G'day Paul... when you say artichokes are delightful, I agree. I do enjoy both; the Mediterranean thistle and the American sunflower tuber. It's the tuber that causes problems - thank you Paul - Lindsay

I have a similar issue with Brussels sprouts, much to my good lady's chagrin. You can't miss her- she's sitting at the bottom of the garden. great Lim, Lindsay. Regards, Viv

A real "toot" of a poem that makes us take life a little less seriously. Emile.
